Teenager guilty of murdering Shane Watson in Sedgley
A teenager was this afternoon found guilty of murdering Shane Watson in a Sedgley alleyway.
Shylon Wishart, aged 19, showed no emotion as jurors delivered their guilty verdict for the killing on July 28 last year.
A seven-day trial heard that Wishart and 18-year-old James Cartwright, who had earlier admitted murder, punched, kicked and stamped on Mr Watson in the alleyway off Springfield Grove after he had become separated from his girlfriend Kelly Handley.
The couple had earlier been out in Monty's Bar in the High Street before the brutal attack took place.
The court was told that Wishart and Cartwright then attended a house party in a "hyper" mood where revellers were told about the attack and shown photographs of Mr Watson being urinated on.
Cartwright, 18, of Sandyfields Road, and Wishart, of North Springfield, will be sentenced at a date to be fixed.
Wishart was warned by Judge John Warner, that only a sentence of life in prison could be imposed for the murder.
